Also my experience (not as a programmer but IT contractor anyway).

Yeah. When I was in consulting, the worst jobs were always the ones with private companies involved, because they didn't understand the process and had utterly ridiculous deadlines.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just sifted through the papers in my folder, and somehow I shoved a fanart draft in there by mistake when I packed this morning.
It could have been worse. There could have been more nudity, and I could have discovered it with other people around. But...still. I need to be carefuller.

Oh man, I'd really like to see your supervisor's face on spotting that shot of Superman pushing Batman's head down.

Soldiers are essential, but won't get paid until the shutdown is over. Since this Friday is the halfway point in the pay period, they'll get a paycheck for one week instead of two. It's going to screw up the financial lives of a lot of enlisted soldiers. They're already paycheck to paycheck in the best of times.
thanks for the correction. I may have been in a rage blackout when I heard on the news that that soliders wouldn't get paid, so didn't process the rest.

Carlisle Cullen? I am offend.
Also, I want Richie Rich higher on the list, and Bruce to top Tony. But that might have nothing to do with money.
